vscode.Uri.joinPath is not a function

[RomanNikitenko]

Bug Description:

I got the error in the browser console at using for Theia project VS Code test extension with the following code:

vscode.Uri.joinPath(folder.uri, defaultFile);

The same extension works well for VS Code.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone https:/RomanNikitenko/vscode-test-extension.git
2. Build the extension using yarn and copy it to theia/plugins folder.
3. Start Theia and open Theia project as a workspace folder - it's required to have some files for testing.
4. F1 => run Test 'vscode.Uri.joinPath'

The command for testing should just display a notification with info about path to package.json file.
Please see the source code here

It works well for VS Code. But it doesn't work for Theia - you can see an exception in the browser console.

The same command in VS Code:

Additional Information

• Operating System: Fedora-31
• Theia Version: 476c8df

I'm also running into this. Effectively stops my extension from working. Is it supposed to work?

Seems like for the support of joinPath (and the other uri Utils functions added in latest vscode version) - we need to upgrade @theia/monaco-editor-core to vscode [email protected] version. #8691 also exists in that matter.

Current version is 0.20.x:

VS Code standalone/0.21.x contains joinPath function:
https:/microsoft/vscode/blob/standalone/0.21.x/src/vs/base/common/uri.ts

VS Code standalone/0.20.x does not contain joinPath function:
https:/microsoft/vscode/blob/standalone/0.20.x/src/vs/base/common/uri.ts

Closed via #9199.

Closed via #9199.

@kittaakos it was reverted #9222 😄

The golang.Go extension is not working due to this error. Any workarounds, so far? Thanks!

@danielfireman-ifal the only workaround I would suggest until the monaco upgrade would be to use an older version of golang.go which does not use the newer vscode.Uri.joinPath function.

In case someone ran into the same problem, adding the following snippet to your gitpod.yml does the trick:

vscode:
  extensions:
    - [email protected]

does the trick. Thanks a lot @vince-fugnitto !
